The Impact of Internet Access on the Marubo Tribe in the Amazon

A reclusive tribe in the Amazon, the Marubo, was connected to the internet through Elon Musk's Starlink service. While the internet brought benefits such as access to emergency help and educational resources, it also led to concerns about addiction to pornography, social media, and violent games among the younger members. Elders worry that the tribe's traditions and culture could be at risk as younger members become more engrossed in the digital world. Efforts have been made to limit internet access and address the potential negative impacts. However, there are differing opinions on the overall impact of internet access on the tribe's way of life.
